Lyrics

MAD AT GOD
PAUL DELPH / PAUL MARCUS

All the bells in all the steeples
In all the churches I've found
Are waiting for the resolution
To make a joyful sound

All the answers to all the questions
And all the sins to atone
Living daily the consequences
In the face of the unknown

I've been there
breathe in us - give to us
I've seen where
bring to us - hope for us
Things go wrong
come to us - feel for us
No matter how strong
His hand giveth
lift us - heal us
To taketh away

I'm mad at god
I'm just figuring out
Time is slipping away, slipping away

I'm mad at god
For not shouting it out
Time is slipping away, slipping away

Taking a walk down Decatur
Destination unknown
Caught up in the party life
Better off sleeping alone

Now Jimmie skates on the curve of the eight
In the dance at the end of time
But the question's really killing me
Did my best friend have to die?

I've been there
breathe in us - give to us
I've seen where
bring to us - hope for us
Things go wrong
come to us - feel for us
No matter how strong
His hand giveth
lift us - heal us
To taketh away

I'm mad at god
I'm just figuring out
Time is slipping away, slipping away

I'm mad at god
For not shouting it out
Time is slipping away, slipping away

Breath in us
Give to us
Bring to us
Hope for us
Come to us
Feel for us
Lift us
Heal us...

I'M MAD!

When I gaze into the heavens
And think about it all
Wouldn't it make more sense if heaven
Could be contained in us all?

When I get up to that big door
And face the awesome light
I'm gonna ask more than a few questions
About what's wrong and right

I'm mad at god
I'm just figuring out
Time is slipping away, slipping away

I'm mad at god for not shouting it out
Time is slipping away, slipping away

I'm mad at god
In a shadow of doubt
Time is slipping away
Slipping away...

THE GOOD DAYS ARE BETTER
(But The Bad Days Are Worse)
PAUL DELPH / PAUL MARCUS

Down at the Last Chance Mission
There's a fire in the house
And you just know the man's not lying
When you hear them scream and shout

It's bigger than music
It's bigger than TV
I can hear it in the trees
And there's nothing wrong with me

Nothing is better than when we're together
And two becomes one
Nothing is worse than when your whole universe
Unwinds and comes undone

But if there were no highs, there could be no lows
Best be pushing that gate, either way it goes

The good days are better, but the bad days are worse...

It's almost like a spanking when the music starts cranking
And you're having too much fun
Remember the feeling when the music starts reeling
And you and the moment become one

Remember the tension of fate held in suspension
High in the wires of time and love

The good days are better, but the bad days are worse
As of the last transmission, you got to laugh because it hurts...

Wash my feet, wash my hands
Can you help me understand?
Oh my spirit, Oh my soul
All my faith and my self-control

From the highest highs, to the spilling of blood
In the darkest hour, we got to rise above

The good days are better, but the bad days - they're hell

Nothing is better than when we're together
Sailing towards the sun
Nothing is worse than being scraped off the ceiling
Like a dried up piece of gum

The good days are better, but the bad days are worse...

STUMBLING IN THE DARK
PAUL DELPH / PAUL MARCUS

You can play all night in the hills

Stand back and let the stretcher through
This man's been beaten up bad, now he's sad and blue

It's not what you think
It's deeper than wide
It's living in skin
It's stumbling time
It's under the bridge
It's more than a crime
It's love and it's sin
It's all in your mind

You can pray all day to the mountains
You can play all night in the hills
Until the sun comes up
You better watch your step, cuz you're stumbling in the dark

Stand back and let the preacher through
This man's not long for this world, now it's the truth

It's my freedom! That's what we're talking about
Oh somebody check my pulse, and there's no doubt

It's not what you think
It's deeper than wide
It's living in skin
It's stumbling time
It's under the bridge
It's more than a crime
It's love and it's sin
It's all in your mind

You can pray all day to the mountains
You can play all night in the Hollywood hills
Until the sun comes up, you better watch your step
Cuz you're stumbling in the dark...

You can pray all day to the mountains
You can pray all day; you can play all night
But the mountains just won't hear

Beyond the life and the living, we cast our fate to the sea
Dry your eyes and come lay down with me
And whisper words of immortality
Whisper words of immortality...

You can pray all day
But the mountains just won't hear
You can play all night
Are you running with the fear?
Out in the killing fields
You better watch your step
Cuz you're stumbling in the dark

MORE THAN EVER
PAUL DELPH / PAUL MARCUS

Walking like the dead
I make my way
Across the sands
Of shallow graves

I look over the edge
At the skeletons and bones
Of the trouble left behind
By lovers on their own
How long?
How long - in the desert of my soul

More than ever
Right now I need
To feel the power
And the glory she brings
For the love of a woman
With the blood of an angel
I sing

I still believe
After ten thousand days
Judging by the sun
And the angle of her rays
I'm getting closer
I'm getting closer - with every step I take

More than ever
Right now I need
To feel the power
And the glory she brings
For the love of a woman
With the blood of an angel
I sing

More than ever
I surrender

The fate of the world
Remains in your hands and mine
We've got power
And we've got time

More than ever
I feel things change
To feel the power
And the glory she brings
For the love of a woman
With the blood of an angel
I sing

More than ever
I surrender
More than ever...

LET YOURSELF GO
PAUL DELPH

Defend your right
To dream your way all through the night
If faith comes hard
Consider all you've overcome this far
And let yourself go

I don't think that there's much time
To separate what yours from mine
together

As you're floating gently
through the night
Far from all the world of light
and darkness

Defend your right
To dream your way all through the night
If faith comes hard
Consider all we've overcome this far
And let yourself go

It's so hard to say goodbye
When I know love will span all time and boundaries

Floating on the sea of love
Reaching for the stars above

Defend your right
To dream your way all through the night
If peace won't come
Know the battle's almost won
When faith comes hard
Consider all you've overcome this far
And let yourself go

I'll lift you up
Carry you out
Don't give up
Nothing can hold you down
But the hardest part is letting go right now

I will defend your right
To dream your way all through the night
If peace won't come
Know the battle's almost won
If faith comes hard
Consider all we've overcome this far
And let yourself go...

ETERNITY SPIN
Written by Jimmie Spheeris

I've known you such a long long time
From lifetime to lifetime you are there
From a distant star to this dirty bar
We've come so far to come nowhere

And I've been everything you desired
From your frozen slave, to the master of your fire

But we can try it again
Another round my friend
Eternity spin is about to begin

And I've known you such a long long time
From century to century you are the one
You're the wind-blown girl and the handsome boy
The Captain, the Black Queen, the moon and sun

And I've been everything you required
I have been wind and earth, water and fire

But we can try it again
Another round my friend
Eternity spin is about to begin

A GOD THAT CAN DANCE
PAUL DELPH / PAUL MARCUS

Some people pray
They have their reasons
Some people wait
In the name of heaven
Heaven knows
You must be so close

I believe
I can believe
I could believe in a god that can dance

I believe
I can believe
I could believe in a god that could dance

Walk straight
Don't hide behind those pearly gates
I could believe in a god that can dance

Hey are you real?
Can you come down?
Show me what you've got
Here on the ground
In the flesh
So I won't have to guess

I believe
I can believe
I could believe in a god that could dance

I believe
I can believe
I could believe in a god that could dance

Whose body talks
Whose heart's a beat that never stops
I could believe in a god
That could believe in me

There's no better place for us to learn
Where dancing's always been our main concern

I believe
I can believe
I could believe in a god that can dance

I believe
I can believe
I could believe in a god that can dance...

Laughs, cries
Lives and breathes in you and I
I could believe in a god

That could walk, talk straight
Don't hide behind those pearly gates

I could believe in a god...

I could believe in you

THE DANCE AT THE END OF TIME
Written by Jimmie Spheeris

We move with such grace
To a love of some kind
Get drunk and embrace
In the dance at the end of time

Snow falls crystalline
In the dark halls of our dreams
Blood red drum
Beats on the mainline
We shine, go blind
In the dance at the end of time

If you won't stay
I won't stay behind
Because now is always
In the dance at the end of time

Smoke swirls from eastern oils
And around the jewel a cobra coils and
Strikes at the hand that comes too close
Like a guard at the gate
Where the holy ghost
Sits sublime and laughs
At the dance at the end of time
